This is why President Trump spoke out in the 1980s and has been so consistent about Iran not getting nuclear weapons. He knew they had long range ballistic missiles. This is also why President Trump is unhappy with our NATO allies who refused to join with us when asked.
1)
1)
Most do not pay their fair share and we do not need the oil from the Middle East. We are an oil rich nation. Iran could reach the EU nations with their missiles and they expect America to defend them.
2)
2)
President Trump always understood the threat Iran posed to the US if allowed to become a nuclear power. They hate America and our Western values and ultimately sought global dominance.

A new population based study from Stockholm sends a pretty troubling signal.
During follow-up, a cardiovascular event occurred in 20.6% of men and 18.2% of women with diagnosed long COVID.🧵
During follow-up, a cardiovascular event occurred in 20.6% of men and 18.2% of women with diagnosed long COVID.🧵
In the control group without long COVID, the numbers were much lower. 11.1% for men and 8.4% for women.
These were not mainly patients recovering from severe acute COVID or ICU stays. The study focused on non-hospitalized adults aged 18-65 with no prior cardiovascular disease!
On this #GoodFriday, as we reflect on Jesus’ trial—pushed forward by the Pharisees to be judged under Roman law—a 🧵 about the Cohortes Urbanae, the elite "State Police" that enforced the Emperor's peace. #Rome #Roma #History
1/ While the Praetorian Guard protected the Emperor, Augustus created the Cohortes Urbanae (Urban Cohorts) around 13 BC to police the city of Rome itself.
2/ Think of them as "heavy police." They maintained order, suppressed riots, and served as a counterweight to the Praetorians to prevent military coups.
7 signs you’re not anxious — you’re stuck in an overthinking + people-pleasing trauma loop:
1. Waking at 3–4 AM
1. Waking at 3–4 AM
Your eyes fly open.
Your body feels alert before your feet hit the floor.
Then the scan begins:
What did I say wrong?
What might go wrong tomorrow?
Who might be upset with me?
That’s not anxiety.
That’s a nervous system that never learned how to power down.
And if that goes unchecked, it leads to sign #2…

2. Jaw clenching.
Teeth grinding.
Tight face.
Tongue pressed to the roof of your mouth.
This is what suppression feels like in the body.
People-pleasing isn’t kindness.
It’s the strain of holding back what feels too dangerous to say.
And when that stays trapped in the body, it turns into sign #3…

Something is moving in global credit markets that Indian investors should understand.
It is not a crisis. Not yet. But it is a signal worth reading carefully.

US junk bond funds saw $2 billion in average weekly outflows over the past month.
That is a 20x increase from the prior four weeks.
Investment grade bonds? $5.2 billion in average weekly inflows over the same period.
Same market. Opposite direction. That is not coincidence.

Same market. Opposite direction. That is not coincidence.
The spread on US high yield bonds what borrowers pay over US Treasuries has widened to 346 basis points. Widest since May 2025.
Investment grade spreads barely moved.
When the gap between IG and junk spreads widens this fast, institutional money is repricing risk. Not reacting to headlines.

With Respect,
The Evidence Doesn’t Support Your Theory, and Someone Needs to Say It.
Re: A retired FBI special agent and NewsNation contributor named Jennifer Coffindaffer went on record, publicly, in Newsweek, and on X, to declare that she believes General Neil McCasland took his own life.
She laid out her
reasoning like this:
- he left without his phone so he couldn’t be tracked
- he took his gun which was unnecessary for a hike
- he took his wallet so he could be identified when found
- he knew the mountains well enough to find a private place
That theory has spread…
…and it needs to be challenged directly and with evidence…
…because it is being repeated as fact while a family is still searching for answers, and while law enforcement has explicitly stated the opposite.
Let’s start with what the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office actually said. Lt. Kyle Woods stood at a formal press conference and stated on the record:
“There’s no indication, and we are not putting forward that Mr. McCasland was disoriented or confused. Arguably, he would still be the most intelligent person in the room that any of us would be in. Highly intelligent, highly capable.”
He confirmed the Silver Alert was issued purely as an abundance-of-caution measure because of McCasland’s age, NOT because investigators believed he was cognitively impaired or in crisis.
That is the OFFICIAL position of the lead investigative agency.
Now let’s go back to the 911 call…
…because Susan McCasland Wilkerson told us everything we need to know.

In NewsWeek retired FBI special agent and NewsNation contributor named Jennifer Coffindaffer went on record:
“Not that I believe the premise, but what I do believe is that likely, General McCasland took his life. He left without his cell phone so he could not be tracked. He took his gun unnecessary for a hike. He took his wallet so he could be identified when found. He is an avid hiker and knows the mountain he fled to well, so he knew how to find a private place.”

Coffindaffer’s claim #1: “He left without his cell phone so he could not be tracked.”
▶️ CLIP 1
“He turned it off and left it behind, which seems kind of deliberate because he’s always got his phone.”
Listen to the woman who lived with this man and knew every one of his habits. Susan used the word deliberate herself, in the first minutes of that call, and she used it to tell the dispatcher that something was wrong.
That something didn’t add up, NOT that she feared he was going to die. That a man who never left without his phone had made a conscious choice to leave it behind, and that frightened her precisely because she had no explanation for it.
Is that the language of a woman who secretly believed her husband walked out to end his life. If she believed that, she would not have described it as deliberate and baffling in the same breath. She would have said so.
Coffindaffer takes that detail and assigns it a meaning, suicidal planning. Susan, the person who was actually there, used that same detail to say: something is wrong and I don’t know what.
Those are two completely different conclusions from the same fact. One comes from a woman who knew him. The other comes from someone who didn’t.

1/ Most people “prepare for interviews”.
If you’re aiming for top spots like @Rippling , @databricks , @stripe , @nvidia , @Razorpay , @JioHotstar etc, you may need to rebuild yourself for that bar.

2/ Step 1: Pick your “A list” (5/7 companies max)
From the list: Rippling, Databricks, Stripe, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Anthropic, Razorpay, Tekion, Datadog, JioHotstar, Microsoft, Adobe, Salesforce, Atlassian, Glean, Abnormal, ThoughtSpot.. this list is far from complete... go find your own niche and style!
Rule: if you’re serious, don’t chase 50 logos.
Go deep on a focused 5/7.

3/ Step 2: Know what these companies actually do
For each target company, answer in your own words:
- What problem do they solve?
- Who pays them and why?
- What is the core product surface you might work on?
If you can’t explain this in 4 or 5 sentences, you’re not ready to interview there.

American Suez. A doleful essay for Good Friday.
"There is now a rising probability that Trump’s war backfires on him much as Eden’s did—economically, politically, and geopolitically. Which raises the question: Is this the American Suez?" 1/5

"The crisis begins as an attempt to overthrow an unfriendly regime in the Middle East, in concert with the state of Israel. It is also a struggle for control of a key commercial waterway. Despite lacking a plausible basis in international law and popular support at home, the military operation is nevertheless a success in its own terms. The armed forces of the invaded state are swiftly overwhelmed." 2/5
"But the economic consequences of the conflict—not just the closure of a crucial oil choke point, but also the financial ramifications of the crisis—result in political damage and strategic defeat. The result is humiliating withdrawal." 3/5
1/ In a further sign of an economic slump in Russia, the giant vehicle manufacturer AvtoVAZ will shut down production entirely for 17 days due to falling demand and overcrowded warehouses. Its vehicles aren't selling and storage facilities are overflowing. ⬇️
2/ The Russian news outlet Mash reports that AvtoVAZ will shut down its assembly lines for almost the entire period from 27 April to 17 May, with the workforce sent on mandatory leave.
3/ Workers will be sent to do maintenance work between 27-30 April, 12-13 May will be covered by a postponement of vacation days from December, and staff will be paid at two-thirds their normal salary on 14-15 May.
